Hi Peter,

True, I should've tested the regex before. Now with your regex tricks, I
managed to acchieve what I want. But here is the part I am not quite getting
it

According to the docs


> ^.*?\"user\"\\s*:\\s*\"([^\"]+)\".*$  
> 
> json response where the username is contained in a 
*
> property
*
>  named 
*
> user
*

Given that {"user": "admin"}, so isn't "user" a *property* of the json
object?  Then how should the json reponse 
look like if I use regex above?

Just a follow up question about what I actually want to to do. Following is
the context,

We have our own auth, basically just a rest request via POST (username &
password), then the user gets the session id  
and with this session id, users can consume our services. So I want to
resuse this session id for accessing GeoServer OWS as well.

After playing with authkey modules, I do see how I can do it. 
Namely just add a GET end point in our REST API to check sessionID if it is
valid when the user calls GeoServer OWS with authkey replacement. 

*My question:*

1. Is this how auth key is supposed to be used to integrate external auth
providers?
2. In this case, every OWS request will trigger an additonal http GET for
geoserver auth, am I right?  If yes, is there any way to use the auth filter
"remember me" and "authkey" together? Is the filter chans the right
direction to go?

Regards & Thanks
Deen
